Seeing Qin Chuan looking at him in surprise, Major Shen stood up and gave a standard military salute.

"Major Shen Shuyi, leader of the Operations Section of the Secret Service, is reporting to you."

The reason why Qin Chuan was surprised was not because he discovered that the young Major Shen was actually a member of the Operations Section of the Secret Service Headquarters, nor was it because this man who seemed to be about the same age as him actually had the same rank of major as himself. , but because this man was a well-known uprising general who was a military spy in later generations.

Moreover, this person later served as the major general director of the General Affairs Office of the Military Command, the director of the Yunnan Station, the major general commissioner of the National Defense Ministry of the Kuomintang, and the lieutenant general guerrilla commander.

Although Shen Shuyi is young, he is a veteran of the Secret Service. When the Secret Service was first established in the 21st year of the Republic of China, he joined the Secret Service under the introduction of his brother-in-law. In Qin Chuan's memory, history Above, Shen Shuyi is famous for his young age and seniority in the Secret Service.

What is particularly rare is that although Shen Shuyi was born in the Secret Service, he is not only popular but also has excellent character.

After a brief moment of surprise, Qin Chuan hurriedly returned the greeting with a smile, then stretched out his hand to hold Shen Shuyi's hand tightly, and said sheepishly, "Brother Shuyi, please don't do this. I, a lieutenant colonel, probably just want to do this." It’s convenient for me to move around. It doesn’t count to give me such a temporary name. Let’s not call me this formally in the future. I was born in the sixth year of the Republic of China. I guess I am slightly younger than Shu Yi. You can call me by my first name from now on. ”

Shen Shuyi is also a cheerful person. When Qin Chuan said this, he also smiled and said, "Okay! I am from the Republic of China for three years, and I am three years older than you. Let's treat each other as brothers from now on."

After shaking hands, Shen Shuyi said sincerely, "Brother Chengji, don't belittle yourself. With just a piece of paper, you managed to establish such a well-known institution as the Inspection Office in Shanghai. There is no doubt about your ability." Yes, even being a lieutenant colonel and the head of a small station in the Secret Service is more than enough."

"Besides, you are not only a popular writer in Shanghai, but also a popular writer in China. You are also a professor at St. John's University, a very famous university. Most importantly, you are also regarded as a political figure by many people. Don't forget that the Shaanxi Revolution At that time, you initiated an initiative in Shanghai, calling for a peaceful settlement of the Shaanxi Rebellion. You believed that ensuring the safety of the Chairman was a necessary condition for maintaining domestic unity to resist Japan. You also triggered a series of joint calls from the domestic cultural and educational circles to peacefully resolve the Shaanxi Rebellion and ensure the safety of the Chairman. You Do you think the chairman will forget about this?"

Shen Shuyi patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and sighed, "Just because of this incident, your brother's future is limitless. Those big shots are all smart. It is probably because of Yu Yaoli, someone from the chairman's attendant's room, otherwise Even if I give you a colonel, it won’t be an exaggeration.”

Shen Shuyi did not hide the envy on his face, "Even our division chief admires your achievements. Some people in the division even suggested that you be recruited into the Secret Service. However, the division chief said that you are from Shanghai. A famous writer, a university professor, and a celebrity like you. The current yamen of the Secret Service is still too small and cannot support a big celebrity like you for the time being, so we gave up."

"To tell you the truth, this operation was led by our Secret Service, Director Zhang of the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command. He is only responsible for the communication between our Secret Service and the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command, and your Beijing-Shanghai Security Command Although Lieutenant Colonel of the headquarters is only a temporary position issued by them, it has the signature and approval of General Zhang, the Chairman's favorite general, and you have that friendship with the Chairman, I believe the Chairman will also approve it."

Shen Shuyi said excitedly, "Chengji, this time we brothers are going to have a good fight with the Japanese. Not only will we show off our bad temper, maybe we can also show our faces and raise our brother's military rank." Mention it!"

After saying that, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, "If this Shen Shuyi finds out that he is a member of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Station of the Secret Service in the future, and even betrays someone from the Secret Service, this Shen Shuyi will probably go crazy with anger, and maybe he will do it again. I need to personally get rid of this big traitor like him!"

Qin Chuan remembered that Shen Shuyi would soon go to the Shanghai Special Economic Zone Station to serve as the leader of one of the action teams. The assassination of traitors was the job of the action team, but it was not clear which team he would be in.

Shen Shuyi seemed to remember something, turned around and took out a delicate brown leather box from a leather bag on the table and handed it to Qin Chuan, "Chengji, since you and I are considered brothers, you just saved my life again, There is no need for us to be polite. This German Leica camera can be regarded as a meeting gift from my brother."

During this period, the Leica camera was a symbol of the best and most outstanding brand-name cameras in the world. It was not only famous for its good quality and high precision, but also its expensive price. A Leica cost a lot of money during the Republic of China. About five hundred oceans.

Qin Chuan remembered that he had seen a stock of German Leica cameras in the warehouse. He thought it was Shen Shuyi who borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.

Qin Chuan liked Shen Shuyi's bold and informal style of acting very much, so he didn't show off to Shen Shuyi. After taking the camera, he reached into his pocket and took out a yellow watch and handed it to Shen Shuyi.

"Brother Shuyi, I also have something here. If you accept it, it can be regarded as a little bit of my kindness."

Shen Shuyi took the watch handed over by Qin Chuan and took a look. He saw that the watch was heavy with yellow and orange colors. It was obviously a genuine gold watch. He couldn't help but feel happy. Looking at the dial again, the time mark actually reflected light under the light of the flashlight. , obviously inlaid with diamonds, exclaimed.

"Swiss gold watch! Oh, it's a big brand watch like Piaget!"

During the Republic of China, especially before the Anti-Japanese War, most domestic pocket watches came from Switzerland and Japan. Although Swiss watches were of good quality, their prices were also high. Therefore, during the Republic of China, the most domestic Swiss mechanical watches were popular brands, such as Swiss Tissot.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In the 24th and 25th years of the Republic of China, the Pinghan-Hankou Railway Bureau twice customized thousands of pocket watches with the steam locomotive logo engraved on the back of the case from the Swiss Tissot Watch Company. They were called train pocket watches and sold for It costs more than 200 oceans. Even so, this kind of train pocket watch is very popular. However, the sales of big Swiss brand watches were not good during the Republic of China. The reason is that the price is too high. They usually cost 700 to 800 oceans. But now Shen Shuyi The price of the Piaget diamond-encrusted gold watch in my hand should be around 2,000. This price is not something that Major Shen Shuyi can afford.

Even if the Secret Service has various subsidies in addition to military salary, his normal monthly income is only more than 200. To buy such a watch, even if he does not eat or drink, he will have nearly a year's income.

Shen Shuyi was surprised and delighted and gently touched the Earl watch in his hand, "Brother Chengji, are you willing to give up such a good watch?"

Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and revealed the Patek Philippe worn on his left wrist. Shen Shuyi understood instantly and said with a smile, "Okay! I recognize your brother for my temper."

"Brother Shu Yi, in ancient times when houses were raided, the people below were somewhat profited. Besides, we are searching foreigners' goods and we don't get any profit at all. Isn't it a huge loss?"

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, the two of them laughed at the same time.

The seizure of goods from the warehouses of Japanese and other foreign companies went smoothly. It may have been attracted by the attacks of the 87th and 88th divisions on the Hongkou and Yangshupu areas. Also, there has been no major movement on the south bank, and the reservoir area The sound of firing rifles and 38-type rifles continued intermittently. The Japanese warships cruising on the north bank paid no attention to the reservoir area on the south bank.

This also allowed the work of moving materials to proceed without any hindrance. However, because there were too many goods stored in the warehouse area and it was carried out in the dark, the entire moving work continued until 3:30 in the morning before it was finally finished. Five large barges Loaded up, we rowed slowly upstream under the cover of night.

During this period, Brother Zhou and his team have made several trips to transport supplies.

Even so, at 3:30 in the morning, there were still a lot of supplies that had not been packed. In desperation, hundreds of porters were organized to carry all the remaining supplies away on their shoulders.

Since Captain Gu and Brother Zhou had already escorted a convoy of hundreds of trucks and carts, as well as hundreds of workers who also carried a lot of materials, they left early, and the remaining team of porters who needed to take away the goods , only Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi, along with the security team and more than a dozen Secret Service agents, could escort the materials out of the reservoir area.

When the group of them left, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. If they had not left, the Japanese warships on the other side of the river would have discovered something unusual at dawn. It would not have been easy to leave at that time, at least they had brought many of them with them. All supplies must be left behind.

Fortunately, they met dozens of trucks with Captain Gu who came back to pick them up. Then they loaded all the supplies on the truck. All the supplies were transported to Luwan Railway Station, where they would be transported by

All trains are transported.

Among them, more than a dozen trucks filled with canned meat, 60 German-made MP18 submachine guns and 80 sets of German-made equipment, including armed belts and cowhide bullet boxes, were all left behind by Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi.

Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi are going to report to the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters today. These canned meats can just supplement the military supplies of the first batch of troops participating in the war, while the submachine guns are reserved for the use of the Rangers they are about to establish.

Looking at the boxes of canned meat on the truck, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.

Because Qin Chuan found canned luncheon meat on the truck. Canned luncheon meat was invented by the American Hormel just two months ago. What Qinchuan regretted was that he used luncheon meat, which was consumed in large quantities by the U.S. military during World War II.

His military supplies had been forgotten, otherwise he would have made a fortune just by relying on this patent.

The Beijing-Shanghai Police Headquarters is located in Zhenru. Zhenru Station is a large station on the Shanghai-Nanjing Line. The headquarters is located here and the transportation is extremely convenient.

The Beijing-Shanghai Security Headquarters is located in a house outside Zhenru Town. Although Qin Chuan and others took out the letter of appointment, their group of nearly a hundred civilians carrying weapons were still blocked outside the town, and even hurriedly left the town.

A company of heavily armed guards ran out of the house and surrounded them. It was not until a staff officer from the Political Training Office ran out of town to pick them up with a warrant that they were allowed to enter the town.

The security team and a dozen people from the Secret Service were politely and temporarily placed in a small courtyard by the staff officer. Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi were taken to the political training office by the staff officer.

Along the way, there were very few ordinary people seen on the streets. Instead, officers and soldiers in military uniforms and military vehicles were almost everywhere. All the people and vehicles were busy and busy.

After all, the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters and the Ninth Army Headquarters just moved from Suzhou last night. Not only the personnel and various departments need to be resettled, but also the guards of the headquarters and even the resettlement of the people have to be busy making arrangements.

Since only the 87th and 88th divisions and the 20th Independent Brigade under the Ninth Army, as well as several units of the Shanghai Police Corps, are currently participating in the battle, the headquarters of the Ninth Army is currently the highest front line in the Songhu Battle.

The command organization suddenly moved to Zhenru, so a lot of busy work was inevitable.

Sandbag bunkers have been piled up outside the headquarters, and machine guns have been set up on them. All strangers entering and exiting must be questioned, and they may even ask the headquarters through the phone in the concierge before they are released.

Since Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi were led by staff, they entered the courtyard directly without being questioned.

Although I don’t know the details, judging from the size of the courtyard, it should be at least three or four entrances into the courtyard. Turning around the screen wall, there is a wide courtyard. Although the spacious main room opposite has the door open, there are two sides in front of the door.

There are also guards on duty. The only difference from the street is that in the courtyard and among the staff officers and officers coming in and out of some rooms, no one is making any noise, and it still seems to be very orderly.

Qin Chuan and the two were led into a wing by the staff. When they entered the door, they saw Zhang Yanyuan, director of the political training section of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command, who was reviewing a document.

The Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters and the Ninth Army Headquarters are not integrated into one. They are not only two brands, but also two sets of personnel.

The Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command is nominally a military and police security department, while the Ninth Army is a purely military combat unit, but now both headquarters are commanded by the same person.

After the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War ended in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang had already begun to plan the Ningbo-Hangzhou defense plan. Since there were only two security groups in Shanghai at that time, the armed forces were weak. In order to prevent another sudden "December 8" incident like

This caught the Kuomintang off guard, so in February of the 25th year of the Republic of China, the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command was officially established.

The Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command is called garrison, but it is actually responsible for the important task of marching into Shanghai first once a war breaks out in Shanghai.

Because it is responsible for important military tasks, the staffing of this garrison headquarters is completely different from that of the general garrison headquarters. First of all, the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison headquarters is concurrently served by General Zhang, the education director of the Central Military Academy of the Army. The weight is naturally very important, not only

Because General Zhang once served as the fifth

The commander of the army is also because the principal of the Central Military Academy is also the chairman of the committee. He, as the chief of education, is fully responsible for the daily management of the military academy. Although he does not have much power within the Kuomintang, his status is not low, so he serves concurrently.

This Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command shows that the Kuomintang attaches great importance to it.

This can also be seen from the configuration of other personnel of the Garrison Command. First of all, all staff members of the headquarters are drawn from the tactical instructors of the Central Military Academy who have received instructor training from the German Advisory Group. These instructors are in all domestic troops at this time.

Secondly, the chief of staff is concurrently served by Xu Quan, director of the education department of the military academy, and Tong Yuanliang, chief of the infantry section of the military academy.

Because the matter involved confidentiality, the external name of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command is still the "Central Military Academy Senior Instructor's Office". After it was moved to Suzhou Liuyuan, it was renamed the "Central Military Academy Camping Office", although the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command only has a staff office.

, the Secretariat and the Adjutant's Office, the Songhu Garrison Command, which can be fully established, must obey its command, and the Chief of Staff of the Songhu Garrison Command is also governed by the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command.

At the same time, the staff office of the Songhu Garrison Command also replaced a group of top students who graduated from the Army University as the chief of staff, chief of the operations section, and chief of the logistics section. Zhong Huan, the chief of the intelligence section, was replaced.

Although he did not graduate from mainland China, he was an old soldier in Beiyang and was very familiar with Shanghai. At the same time, he had deep connections with Shanghai gangs and was very effective in collecting intelligence on the Japanese army in Shanghai.

After the establishment of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command, all activities were centered around wartime preparations. Four secret telephone lines were built to connect Nanjing and Shanghai, a highway from Suzhou to Shanghai was built, and the Japanese military deployment map in Shanghai was drawn.

Establish observation posts in Pudong coastal counties to monitor

The movements of Japanese naval vessels, and on the pretext of celebrating the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Special City, they secretly built 29 fortifications, covering the railway station and important intersections and ferries along the Suzhou River, and formed a special task force to fight

At that time, they went deep into the rear of the Japanese army to harass.

In addition, the two security groups in Shanghai were unified into the Shanghai Security Corps, and a regiment-level police force was established in Shanghai.

Because of these two security regiments, one is a security regiment established and transferred from the Tianjin Police Corps, while the second regiment is adapted from the Sixth Regiment of the Military Police of the Central Army. The two troops must have unified command.

Because of this, Qin Chuan believes that the mission of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command has been completed. His current job should be the work of the Political Training Department of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command that was established just last month. Other military operations have been completed by

The Ninth Army Headquarters and the Central Army Staff Headquarters and Military Commission in Jinling, which will be established soon, will take over.

The work of the Political Training Office is to prevent infiltration and espionage. What's more, Zhang Yanyuan is the veteran of the Secret Service, and now it is combined with the Secret Service. The work of preventing espionage is their only job.

Zhang Yanyuan handed the signed document to an officer standing nearby, watched the officer leave, and then stood up with a smile. Qin Chuan and Shen Shuyi also hurriedly saluted.

Zhang Yanyuan waved to the two of them to sit down, and walked to the coffee table in person, ready to pour water for them. Shen Shuyi, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, had already rushed over to pick up the thermos bottle.

"Yes, you have completed your mission very well! I have heard that arms and large quantities of strategic materials alone are worth tens of millions. You have made a great contribution!" Zhang Yanyuan added with a sincere smile.

"Especially Cheng Ji, you not only made the inspection room prosperous, but I didn't expect that you are also good at training troops. I heard about Hongqiao. The soldiers of the 20th Brigade are quite good. In our Central Army

They can be considered elites, but they are much worse than your people."

Zhang Yanyuan sighed and said to Qin Chuan, "What a pity! A few months ago, Chief Chen called on all units in the army to have certain street fighting training, but the chief officers of each army did not agree. In the end, only Chief Chen started his career.

The Eighteenth Army has been trained, but unfortunately they are still on their way to Shanghai."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yanyuan suddenly remembered that the two of them still didn't know the situation of the battle that started early this morning. He sat on the sofa and took the teacup handed over by Shen Shuyi and said, "Although the attacks of the two divisions at eighty-seven and eighty-eight in the morning

Great progress has been made, but the casualties are not small. In addition to the advantage, the Japanese army

We used barricades to build front lines to block our army, and also used a large number of houses on the street to build firepower points. Our troops were often caught off guard by the firepower points that suddenly appeared in the houses on the street. Now in the confrontation area, our two German weapon divisions

We are fighting street battles with the Japanese army."

Regarding what Zhang Yanyuan said, Qinchuan also felt deeply regretful that he was powerless. At this time, the domestic troops had little experience in street fighting, because during the civil war, few troops continued to fight in the streets after the city defenses were broken, so basically all the troops

Neither of them have much experience in street fighting.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think. Could it be that this time he would let himself participate in a street battle to attack the Japanese army?
Chapter completed!
